Before you start, fully charge the Happy Birdy camera using the provided USB-C cable. This ensures it's ready to go once installed.
1. Choose your Mounting Location
- Prioritize a spot with plenty of direct sunlight, especially for the solar roof to function effectively. South-facing locations are ideal.
- Make sure the feeder is within range of your home's Wi-Fi network for seamless connectivity to the Happy Birdy app. Remember, your feeder requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection to function correctly.
- Choose a location that's visible to you but also offers some protection from predators and harsh weather.
2. Mounting Options
- Wall Mounting. Happy Birdy comes with a universal bracket and metal screws to mount it on a wall or fence.
- Tree Mounting. You can also mount Happy Birdy on a tree using the included strapping belt and bracket.
- Pole Mounting. You can use an existing pole or install one. This gives you flexibility in height and placement.
- Hanging. Use a metal hanger to hang the Happy Birdy from a tree branch, hook, or other sturdy structure.
3. Instructions
- Put together the feeder components according to the instruction manual.
- Depending on your chosen method, attach the appropriate mounting hardware (bracket, strap, etc.) to the feeder.
- Mount the feeder to the chosen location (pole, tree, wall) using the provided hardware. Make sure it's stable and secure.
- Angle the solar panel to optimize sun exposure, usually facing south for maximum efficiency.
